Hard to determine especially when they use no knock warrants as of late...

Roll the dice I guess?

Guess what? If you're wrong, you're dead. Even if you're right, if you pull a gun you'll end up "DEAD RIGHT" It amazes me that people think they can resist. Really? Fight it in court and live to see tomorrow. Resist and you'll learn 1st hand what a body bag looks like FROM THE INSIDE.

Um... no you won't, the dead learn nothing.

Having thought about this subject a bit (yes, I actually ruminate on the subjects discussed here beyond just treating y'all to my pithy comments and $20 words half the time).

This ruling IS NOT intended as a free pass to gun down the coppers as they bust down your door during the increasingly ubiquitous no-knock warrants, although it provides a viable defense should you actually survive such an encounter.

It's a warning to all authorities involved in these kind of operations to get their sheit in one sock and execute a justifiable no-knock on the correct dwelling for the right reasons in the first place, and that they will have no recourse (and in fact may be held liable) if they get slotted by an innocent occupant who is acting in self defense thinking they're getting "smashed and grabbed", regardless if that occupant survives the encounter or not (which is actually irrelevant).

Dead men tell no tales, not sure on the learning part.
